Most of the bank in America is owned by private shareholders. They are NOT "government" bank.

Ok let me rephrase. Government controlled banks.

Never probably, it's no in their interest, maintaining the actual status quo. You would kill yourself one day if the life of your human fellows depended on it ? Please note the government we have in our times works more like a machine, based on rationale not feelings.

Bitcoins are a threat to their ability to siphon money from the economy through both inflation and fees. They will never give up that never ending revenue stream.

So expect them to attack it both in public opinion and legislation if it becomes a threat. I mean an all out offensive involving talking heads spreading FUD in nightly "news", paid lobbyist getting crooked politicians to make it illegal/difficult. Maybe even actively orchestrating bitcoin scams, ddos attack, and direct attacks against the blockchain to show the public just how unsafe it is. Modern fractional reserve banking is a license to "print money" at the expense of everyone else in the economy. A giant money funnel where wealth transfers only one way. People are insane if they think they will give that up.

If a bank starts accepting Bitcoins it means we have already won and further resistance by the banks is futile.

We are the BitBorg. Abolish your currencies and surrender your banks.We will add your economical and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your economy will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

That's like asking when will a real blacksmith start making sport cars. In the US, banks have no constitutional basis for existence. There is no reason that Bitcoin could not be adopted as official currency. It can be legally issued by the Treasury department simply by registering addresses.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
